Is it me, or are consumers attempting more crowd control than Microsoft?

I've only seen a couple of people try to put a positive spin on their policies. I do see a massive number of aggressive pro Sony people all over the internet though. I can't blame the Microsoft crowd for staying quiet even if they do agree with the policies. Sales will show the true sentiment of gamers.

This first post pretty much sums it up. Alot of vocal haters while Xbox guys are staying mostly quiet. People might be surprised at how well X1 might end up selling.

It will sell, but it will not sell well. Nowhere near close as the 360. And this has nothing to do with Sony fanboys being loud and annoying, it has to do with Microsoft's own policies . They are literally denying people who want to buy the console. I've never seen any company do that before. People in unsupported countries, military, people without reliable access to the internet, people who want physical copies over digital only, all of them were able to buy a 360 before, now then can't upgrade. And what's worse, when they ask for a solution to their problems Microsoft's response is "Keep your 360". How could these people not hate Microsoft? How could they possibly not want to get a PS4 instead? 

Also, the amount of contradictory statements and conplicated always-changing policies only generates mistrust. And that's the last thing you want when you're trying to sell a product.
